Football pundit Alan Brazil has advised Arsenal to sign Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin if they can’t sign Brentford star Ivan Toney.
The Gunners are currently on the lookout for a striker who can score goals and solve their goal scoring crisis.
After scoring just one goal in their last three games, that have all ended in defeat for the North London club, Mikel Arteta wants to bring in a striker at the club to compensate for the misfiring Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
Jesus is well-known for his over all play and link-up with the teammates but he has never been a prolific goal scorer. Nketiah’s future at the club is in huge doubt because of his inability to lead the line and score against the bigger teams.
Brazil said Arsenal should be after Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Everton if they are unable to sign Ivan Toney in January.
Speaking to Ally McCoist on talkSPORT, Brazil said: “So, I was just going to touch on Calvert-Lewin, so he’s got off his red card and rightly so, that was a joke.
“And I was just thinking if they can’t get the boy from Brentford, if they can’t get Ivan, then would Everton sell Calvert-Lewin? Or are they just worried about his injury problems that he’s got?”
McCoist replied: “No chance. You’ve got to take that into account as well.”
Brazil: “He’d finish, I think he’d score a lot of goals.”
McCoist: “So do I, but I don’t think there’s any way Everton would sell him. Imagine Everton fans if they sold Calvert-Lewin?”
Calvert-Lewin has just three goals in his 16 Premier League appearances this season. The English striker’s career has been affected by injuries and it hasn’t taken off like many fans and pundits had hoped.
This just proves that along with, london.football,the Mirror,the express,daily mail and TBR, that Talk Sport also hates Arsenal, by the stupid suggestion that Arsenal should buy another mentioned overpriced rubbish STATs player, to help us lose more games. These media toilet people are dying for Arsenal to spend their transfer money on overpriced rubbish. They never mention Liverpool should buy this rubbish or that rubbish player, mmm I wonder why?
Havertz had 5 opportunities to score against Liverpool, and the Liverpool manager named his as the biggest threat on the day. If Arteta can work closely with him to stop him dithering in front of goal and pull the trigger first time, then we would have our 20 goal a season striker. He must be doing something right to get in those positions to score, all the other players on the pitch had at most only 3 opportunities to score compared to Havertz 5 opportunities. The Liverpool manager knows that on another given day, Havertz would have torn them to shreds. Arteta should work on Havertz finnishing and start him every time as a number 9 striker TargetMan. Just needs more and better training. Also I would rather Arteta brought Palhinin from Fulham as a midfield ball winner. He is the only midfielder to out play rice every time they meet, and that must show how good he really is. Palhinin and Rice playing together would be an unstoppable concrete wall.
